Guest Downhome Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 This is to both start discussion and for me to let you all know about the deal I just got, lol. I just picked up the Criterion Collection version of The Silence of the Lambs for only $10.53 on eBay. The seller listed is simply as "The Silence of the Lambs DVD Foster Hopkins", and since I was looking for the OTHER version of the film, I noticed that it was really the Criterion and bid away, lol. So that brings me to this... ...what are some great deals that you guys have found? Sincerely, ...Downhome...
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I'll contribute a little later when I have some free time, but just wanna make sure you got a the real deal there, DH. SOTL CC is probably one of the most commonly faked DVD's out there and they've made their way to eBay. There's some lists out there to let you know if you got the real deal there or not, so I'd check those out first. If it's the real thing, then congrats--that's a great find, indeed.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 The Wrestler DVD - $.99 on ebay Shipping - $3 oppertunity to see Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch act - PRICELESS The DVD itself is crappy. Its in one of those clear cases (I've since replaced) and the video quality/sound is terrible..I suppose this is understandable because the movie is 30 years old and the DVD itself is a good 5-6 years old. But I can't really complain for $4.
Guest El Satanico Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Two Disc SEs of Citizen Kane and Unforgiven for a 2 for $20 deal at Best Buy. I've never seen the SE of Kane for less than $20.
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Murdoch looks right at the camera at the end of the bar scene.... hilarious!

It's the real deal, of that I'm certain. I would still like to see the list, for future reference however.
Guest Addy Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I got The Terminator: Special Edition for £9.99 new. That's cool, because the lowest I had seen it before then was £21. Play.com has cheap DVD's...

Play.com has cheap DVD's... Saw the T-2 SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME MEGA HUGE edition and the new James Bond movie at Wal-Mart yesterday, they were both $14.97. I hate being broke, so much that I cant even afford a $15 DVD
Guest Marshall Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 play.com is awesome, it's the only place I buy from. Everyone should check out the bargains section. Only thing is, they don't deliever to the Americas.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Thank God for flea markets were people get new DVDs at a low price...just don't ask where they got em. Sopranos season 3, new, $30 Oz season 1, new $20, season 2, new, $25 Buffy seasons 2 & 3, new, $30 ea Memento SE, new $10 Plus others.
Guest Ravenbomb Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Donnie Darko for $9.99 Last House on the Left for $9.99 (less than I paid for the VHS!!!) Majestic, Truman Show, Princess Mononoke and Suicide Kings for $4.99 each the following I got for free: Equilibrium Bringing Out The Dead Halloween Seven Samurai One Hour Photo Goodfellas Friday the 13th parts 1, 4 and 5 Moonlight Mile Dawn of the Dead Beavis and BUTT-Head Do America X-2 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider The Majestic The Wild Bunch Trigun vol. 1
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 X-Files Season 6 off eBay for $55 + shipping. Still in the plastic, but the proof of purchase was cut out. Not bad since you'd normally pay at least $100 for it.
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 DH, I don't know exactly where it is, but if you head over to DVDTalks.com, you'll find it if you look hard enough. There are several threads around there concerning the DVD, so with a little searching, you'll find it.
Guest WrestlingDeacon Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 It's all about the Wal-Mart $5.88 bin. Recently I got Night Shift, Towering Inferno and Special Edition of the Batman t.v. show movie with commentary by West and Ward.
Guest CED Ordonez Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 This discount grocery store near me somehow got its hands on overstock from amazon.com once. I got Monty Python's Flying Circus DVD Set 2 and a huge stack of anime DVDs for the price of $1.99 each. I ended up selling most of it at a great profit. I saw one guy make off like a bandit with the Stanley Kubrick collection on VHS for a mere 2 dollars. I envy that bastard...
Guest NoCalMike Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 when I used to work at a Target Warehouse, once a year they had a music & movies sale which was usually stuff that was overstocked at stores. I paid $5 for The Stanley Kubrick Collection.
Guest Downhome Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 DH, I don't know exactly where it is, but if you head over to DVDTalks.com, you'll find it if you look hard enough. There are several threads around there concerning the DVD, so with a little searching, you'll find it. Wow, that is such a great site, thanks. I am registered, and have found it already. I'll be visiting there a lot now, lol. I just bought Monty Python and the Holy Grail SE from Sony.com for a great price of $13 and some change with free shipping.
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 No problem. I remember being in such awe myself the first time I checked out the site and the forum. There was so much to check out, I didn't think I'd ever leave the place. That's the place to go with any and all DVD's questions or talk.
Guest Addy Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I've been registered at that forum for about a month now. They're all crazy! Some guy there has nearly 6,000 DVD's!
Guest El Satanico Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I paid $5 for The Stanley Kubrick Collection. On DVD? bastard!
Guest notJames Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Apart from Ebay, Amazon, and other Internet-based conveyances, the best deals I've found are at BJ's, a wholesale warehouse-type store like CostCo. DVDs run a good 10-15% off SRP and sometimes even more. Of course, you have to sign up for their membership and pay a yearly fee, but it more than pays for itself when you're buying diapers by the metric ton and such. I'm currently hording pennies so I can buy Secretary for $16.99.
